Duke ACC Preseason Favorites, Parker ROY

Duke received 50 of 53 1st place votes yesterday at the ACC Basketball Media Day and are now officially the Preseason Favorites in an absolutely loaded ACC. Jabari Parker also received 51 of 53 votes for ROY, winning the award easily.

I can't wait to see them tomorrow night in person. I saw Hood play in last year's Blue/White scrimmage. He is easily one of the best players we have had in the last 10 years. Combine him with Sulaimon, Parker, Cook, Jones, Jefferson, Dawkins, Thornton, Hairston, Murphy, Semi and Marshall....wow. Duke is loaded.Gonna be a curb stomping for UNC. Good times.

no matter how many times UNC fans get on here and talk... we all know that deep down, you are worried about your basketball and football programs and are embarassed by the actions of your university. More importantly, you are embarassed about blowout defeats in basketball and more looming in the near future. It's OK -- it's a smack talk forum, so please get up here and make irrelevant points or try to disguise the embarassment that is your university, but in the end we all realize who is on top of the food chain right now... DUKE

They know Duke will destroy them this season. This years Duke team is much more athletic, and has alot more of a scoring threat. Combine that with a stifling full court pressure defense and I smell alot of blowouts in store for the duke opponents this season.

Yup. Best Duke team since 2000-2001 (and probably better than them).

They have the potential to be one of the best Duke teams ever, but I can't diss the 2001 team like that. Battier/Williams/Dunleavy/Boozer? No way.
